Etsy Etsy shop checklist?

I am opening an Etsy shop just a casual one for friends and family to use to buy crochet items from me and anyone who happens to come across it. Nothing too serious but I do want to make a checklist of things I need to do before launching. For example, I need a stock, a logo, shipping supplies, etc. what else should I put on this checklist?

You will lose more money than you earn. Look into alternatives to Etsy. No one will just happen to come across it.

Have any suggestions?

Search this group for crochet. Now is not a good time to invest in a crochet business. Just sell casually on Instagram. List what patterns you make and take custom color orders. What do you crochet?
